A few months ago during cold weather my van wouldn't start. When we went to put keys in it a few days later to have it towed, we tried the ignition and it magically started, however the power windows, locks, and interior lights all stopped working. Also the blower to the AC barely blows on all settings, the AC started before the other problems so I don't know if it is related. Twice since this happened, my van has hesitated to start but eventually did and ran fine. Also twice I have been driving and out of nowhere the interior lights have flashed on and off. All fuses have been checked and all wires to the back of the fuse box are secure.
Have you had the battery checked to make sure it is holding charge if this is ok check the alternator charge rate
Testimonial: "The battery was just replaced and the alternator has been checked. It's fine."
i'll look into it a bit more if you can give me the year of vehiclei
Thanks, it's a 2003
i would have the vehicles ECU checked it is located in engine compertment passenger side above air filter housing ,it will be square or oblong with a large-ish wire connector going to it google for a local auto electrical company that can run a check on the ECU (electrical computer unit)unit

I know its not what anyone would want to here but sounds like a short. Best thing to do is first wiggle your key switch when the vehicle in in the on position then at the same time try to check to see if locks or windows are working. Then do the same in while the rig is running. If that dont work your ignition is fine and you need to take off door panels and check and wiggle all conections on window motors and lock motors and look for melted or burt wire or some that might have got hot. If all is good there you need to go to the back of the fuse box were the fuses to those items plug in and check there. As far as the service engine light goes either take it to the nearest Schucks or AutoZone and they will check it for free if not cycle the key on and off 3 times and on the 3rd time leave it in the on position look at your odometer light and it will flash a code remember that code and type Dodge then the code on yahoo search and it should tell you why your light is on Hintz whay sensor is bad. Hope this helps.

THIS ONE IS COMPLICATED ONE RELAY AND SO MANY PROBLEMS CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM
1) THE RELAY YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ON THE FUSE BOX COVER THERE SHOULD BE A CHART OF WHAT FEEDS WHAT WHAT DOES THE LID SAY IT FEEDS
2) TRY PULLING THE FUSE TO THE SUN ROOF AND DOOR LOCKS AND REPLACE THE RELAY IF IT STAYS IN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ONE OR THE OTHER. THIS COULD BET A MOTOR PROBLEM ON THE SUN ROOF OR A DOOR LATCH PROBLEM.

Turn the key counterclockwise to unlock the door.
Turn the key clockwise to initiate the alarm activation sequence.
Turn the key counterclockwise. The alarm will stop and reset itself.
